Suppose that the lifetime of a computer model is an aleator variable with an exponential distribution whose mean is 18 months
a) If the cost of assembly of each computer is 1260 USD and sold at 1850 USD, determine the expected utility for each computer knowing that the distributor changes to a new one if it lasts less than 12 months
b) A company acquires 8 such computers, what is the probability that at least 1 lasts at least 12 months?

Assume that you work at Apple and have determined based on previous sales data that the Mac computers last a mean of 10 years and approximately follow an exponential distribution. Each computer costs the company $200 dollars to manufacture. If you are tasked with determining how much a 4-year full replacement warranty on a broken computer should cost customers, what is the lowest price the company should offer for that replacement warranty to have an expected return of $0? If...

Attempts: Keep the Highest: 75 6. The exponential distribution An economist studied a large data set of Mexican consumer prices covering episodes of both high and low inflation. One of the goods in the study was toothpaste. When the inflation rate was low, an average of 1.9 changes in the price of toothpaste occurred each year. When the inflation rate was high, the price of toothpaste changed more frequently-an average of 8.4 times each year. (Source: E. Etienne Gagnon, Price...
